Do I need a special battery for this to work?

No you just pop off the back and pop oN the wireless charge back and it's ready to go. As long as you have the little charging station you set it on lol

It needs a battery that can do NFC but your phone should've came with a battery from Samsung that works with it

I believe you do.i had gotten the charging pad, but my phone did NOT fit the cover so it didn't work. I couldn't find the back anywhere, so I need to return everything.Just be careful because I am having a problem with the company

No, but as stated previously, it does last quite a long time on batteries. Also, I'm sure you have an extra adapter around that will work. If not, you can pick and inexpensive one up at Radio Shack or a similar place.

No. Only the correct 12 Volt batteries will work. (This way they make you buy different batteries)

Not really. You need the one that has a battery as well. And it isn't strong enough either, really. Use the c batteries seems to be the best.

No it does not require an extra battery. The meter works off of the battery you are testing.

Sort of. There is no programming or special set up required but the batteries will likely need to be fully charged first. Takes a few hours as I recall. I have been quite happy with mine.

It takes 4 special batterys 18650 3.7v. You can look them up on Amazon or go to a local Batteries Plus store.

did you try the "lithium" battery it came with? I do not think it works with a standard battery.

I think the instructions are generic for many similar models, but not all sections necessarily apply to the specific model you might have. in this case there is no battery to be installed for this particular unit.

No it doesn't but it works. It keeps that extra battery in charge when you need it.

Hi Gordy, I am not sure what is meant by the non-standard battery. The unit runs on the 12V boat battery. I suspect the special battery may be internal to the unit and used to retain data such as your trajectory for prior trips, total elapsed time etc. This actually surprises me in the days of widely available FLASH memory. I purchased a map module...I love it.

The battery should have been included. If you contact Amazon, they will make it right.

Yes, needs a special charger/maintainer otherwise you will drastically shorten it life.

The unit works only via a DC input - no normal facility for a battery. But if a battery is essential, a technician could certainly adapt a heavy duty battery and attach a chord which would power the unit. The unit is first rate, incidentally, and performs just as advertised.

The battery is a backup in case of power interruption. From a practical viewpoint you need a low voltage power supply.

yes, battery must be in and have at least a charge enough to power on in order to do anything with the camera (including upload pictures to your computer.) I bought an extra off brand battery works great, and its nice to have two.

No. In order to do that it would have to contain a 12volt battery, which it does not.
